Agnes was being born in the Budapest Ghetto, liberated by the Russians and survived the Holocaust. She talks about her and her mother's experiences in the Ghetto along with exploring a small number of the thousands of stories detailing those 'Other Schindlers' and the life saving work they did.Due to the nature of this episode some distressing topics are addressed including suicide and rape.Image Credit: Trinity Mirror / Mirrorpix / Alamy Stock Photo See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
